Engineering Rolls Out New Photocatalytic Air Purifier |
 |
| TOKYO - JFE
Engineering Corporation announced today that it has
begun marketing the JFE Photocatalytic Air Purifier,
developed as part of a project on living environment
solutions undertaken by the Solution Engineering Center
this year.
Initially, standard 10W and 20W models will be marketed
under the name Sawayaka Kuki or Fresh Air (Model
Nos. SKS-10 and SKS-20).
The JFE photocatalytic air purifier combines original
Japanese photocatalyst technology with a variety of
JFE basic technologies to create a full-fledged air
purification system that makes maximum use of the antibacterial
and anti-odor properties of photocatalysts. Several
times more powerful than ordinary home air purifiers,
the unit is able to cover wider areas than conventional
home units can adequately deal with.
The system kills airborne bacteria, breaks down toxic
substances and strong odors, and makes use of ethylene
decomposition to maintain food freshness. Developed
as a full-scale commercial unit, it offers users the
following advantages:
|
|
| 1. |
The photocatalytic ceramic filter
installed in the system is wrapped around fluorescent
lights to improve the ultraviolet light intake rate
and produce maximum decomposing capacity. |
| 2. |
Slits in the air intake control and optimize the
flow of air to the photocatalytic unit. |
| 3. |
Appurtenant filters besides the photocatalyst
itself are kept to a bare minimum in order to maximize
odor- and bacteria-fighting properties. |
| 4. |
The unit’s steel body impedes the discharge
of toxic substances. No organic solvents are used
in the unit’s paint. |
| 5. |
The simple, no-frills design makes installation
suitable anywhere. |
|
|
In addition to the standard models, JFE
Engineering will also be developing larger models and
special specifications that tailor the technology to a
variety of facilities, plants and other needs. Sales agents
will be responsible for marketing the product and bringing
full-fledged photocatalytic technology to the enormous
range of applications that can benefit from it including
use in health-care and geriatric facilities, fresh food
sales, processing and storage facilities, veterinary hospitals
and pet shops, schools and day-care facilities, hotels
and restaurants, and leisure facilities.
